Cool.

Yes, the documentation should be updated. John Hendy promised to do so a
while ago :-) (hint, hint).

What are the problems you are encountering? It should work out of the
box. Once you have an org file as explained on the worg page you just
invoke the exporter with C-c C-e J o for example and you should see the
schedule in a browser.

There is nothing special in my .emacs file. You need to include contrib
to your load path (add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/org-mode/contrib/lisp")
and you need to enable the taskjuggler exporter (M-x customize
org-export-backends).

The one on from the taskjuggler tutorial on the worg page should work.

The best ATM is the tutorial on worg and the comments in the code.

If there is any other info needed then I'd say it is the official
TaskJuggler documentation.
